Program Notes

Basic art supplies are furnished. Participants may bring their own supplies to supplement if they like, but it certainly is not necessary. We are happy to provide student grade supplies and some supplies can even be taken home. Participants may like to bring a collapsible stool or chair to sit on while painting in the park. However, with notice, we have some for loan.

Activity Notes
